When I went to college, Daddy sat me down for "the talk" which went like this:
I know you're going to drink so don't say you won't. But learn how to drink. Stay away from the purple passions, hunch punch, etc. You'll just mak a fool of yourself. From this day forward in this house you can have a drink whenever you want it - but it's going to be scotch and water." Well, it took a while, but to this day - I never got drunk at college (well, a little high once), never puked, still drink scotch and water and can't stand sweet drinks. Even bourbon and water is too sweet for me. I also learned something else from Daddy - drink a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have. So, I order and scotch and water and a water on the side or a glass of wine and a glass of water. May not have been the right way to go about it but it kept me out of trouble! And I didn't drink much at school because no one else drank scotch!
